Hi there. I'm Todd, hailing from Buffalo, NY. Language is top amongst my greatest passions, and I wish I could speak every one out there. I'm currently studying French.
Aside from language learning, I'm an avid writer, a lover of music, a foodie, and an all-around creative type who sleeps a little too much.

- The above answers are all correct and insightful. But I'd like to add that there's a bit of a difference between 'take effect' and 'go into effect.' The latter typically refers to something that will happen in the future. For example; 'These changes will go into effect on May 17th.' However, 'take effect' can also be used here. But there are certain instances where 'take effect' sounds more natural. For example, if you're taking a sleeping pill tonight but it hasn't started working yet, you would say it hasn't taken effect yet. 'Go into effect' seems to be used more to refer to new sets of rules or standards or changes to something. I don't think I've ever heard or used 'come into effect.'0 votedMay 5, 20160

Now, I have to practice speaking French.0 votedMay 2, 20160- Hello again. :-) 2:17 How does the finance function, in your view, drive that growth both at the top line and at the profit end? 2:28 We are in the unique position that we're (I can't understand the word here either) ... allows us to retain 80% of the money that we make. That means that the more profitable we are, the more money we have for growth. And there's a multiplier effect in that, so if we make a billion-dollar or more advance the next profit, we have 80% of that billing to invest. (I'm almost certain this is what he's saying. He seems to have a slight accent of some kind which is throwing me off.) 2:49 But more importantly, we're more profitable therefore we can increase our (I can't understand the word here) ... we could borrow more money. 3:00 A key enabler to faster growth is drive more, uh, better returns Sorry I failed to pick up some of what he was saying, and English is my native language! I hope this helps.0 votedApril 28, 20164
- :52 There's a lot of people who have a lot of expertise. :56 People lean into 'can I learn more?' That's a big part of the Cargill culture. 1:24 I like animals that are speedy. 1:49 It's actually balanced; there's a whole lot of things that I don't do very well and I'm very comfortable with that, and that's ok 2:07 So yes, speed and agility 2:17 'Growth,' such a big and important word that we talk about0 votedApril 28, 20162
